Hi Brianne, Here at Oakland we document in policy that the University provided email is used for official communications and further states that students are responsible for checking it weekly. For tickets in help system, etc we will require the contact information to be used as the contact. From an operational perspective we don't have any technical controls to prevent corresponding with a student's personal email address We do not offer Alumni accounts at this time. Visiting professors can be handled a few ways but largely I would say the accounts are removed as soon as their affiliation with the University ends. Let me know if I can provide any other information. Dennis Bolton On Tue, Feb 4, 2020 at 1:38 PM Cap, Brianne <Brianne.Cap () devry edu> wrote:
We are reviewing our email policies and currently allow our students to use their personal email addresses when conducting school business. Having attended both a traditional university and online university myself, I can see the pros and cons of both a university-issued email and allowing the use of personal emails. I am trying to understand what best practice is before making a recommendation to my CIO. My questions are as follows: - Does your university allow students to use their personal email addresses when communicating with the organization? - How long do you keep alumni accounts active? - How about email accounts belonging to Visiting Professors? Thank you in advance for your insight. Regards, *Brianne Cap *| *Sr. Program Manager, Information Security* *P* 630.799.0135 | *M* 630.881.7518 | *E* brianne.cap () devry edu 1200 E.
